The Third Act Podcast is what happens when three friends get together and launch into movie-related discussion and reviews.
New releases, old films, Auteurography (where the entire filmography of a specific director is covered) as well as nostalgically-themed episodes such as "Don't Judge a Movie By It's Cover" and "But Does It Hold Up?" are all part of the cinema-obsessed mix here.
So, do yourself a favor and grab an ice cold can of Mt. Dew Baja Blast and enjoy Christian, Jericho, and Armando's long-winded foray into all things involving the mooooovies,

    May 20 2026

    On the two hundred and ninety-fifth episode of THE THIRD ACT PODCAST, the crew are in full arthouse goon mode.

    Christian and Jericho once again break from the mainstream with reviews of Yvonne Rainer's 1974 meditation on domestic issues, FILM ABOUT A WOMAN WHO... and Krzysztof Kieślowski's 1988 riff on REAR WINDOW and male emasculation, A SHORT FILM ABOUT LOVE, for Vol. II of their ongoing "Arthouse Goonies" series.
